Hi Cielce Yes compost is the way. Get as much as you can, you can,t have too much. They do say that clay soils make the best soil in the end. Good Luck

My tentative plan so far is to apply composted manure and some compost and work it all in, most of my garden didn't produce as well as I liked. It was cool and rainy, but I also don't think my backyard soil is very rich in nutrients. I grew up gard…

Hi Cielce I know exactly what i need to do to get a better crop of sweet potatoes. I need to move my garden about a thousand miles further south. Even with the effects of global warming, its still a bit too cold to get a decent crop. Like you i also…

Hi Ciecle, the weather is a little cold still, so I am behind in the planting outside. I am creating a little greenhouse to to protect the plants a little bit.

You seem to be planting a lot. You garden looks great

Thanks, Cielce...it is going to be all right. The pollen is just another straw on the camel's back, so I'm trying to limit exposure today - pollen count is only 9oo's today. That's Atlanta! I drank a lot of real coffee and caught up on paper work. And naps.
Love your photos! you've got real peas and kohlrabi. Good luck with the garden this year, we're expanding too - same tomato overbought reason.

Glenn Fletcher commented on Gillian's group 'COMPOST'
Hi Letti Thanks for the info about the contaminated manure. I have not bought manure now for several years in the UK. This was since we had the foot & mouth and BSE scares. I think that municipal compost is your best bet, if you need to say bulk up…

Hi Kirsti I think the dingy idea seems feasable. Then the plants would be out of the way of day to day activities. Have you seen Margy,s floating garden pictures. Yours would be a variation on that theme.
